This is a collaborative post. I’m a big fan of tasting menus in general and come the festive season – a lot of London restaurants offer Christmas and Festive Season menus. On this occasion we booked ROKA in Canary Wharf – which was really something unusual because the city is normally not exactly the area we visit. We had tickets …
Creamy Egg and Avocado Salad Recipe
Sometimes I just crave something different for lunch – which are always kind of a rush in between school runs, when I only really have 10-15 minutes to eat. Well, this creamy egg and avocado salad is ready in 15 minutes – so it’s just a little extra time for something more tasty and fulfilling than a cheese sandwich. My …
Review: Eneko One Aldwych – London Restaurant Festival 2018
We’ve chosen Eneko at One Aldwych for our recent night out in London for an after theatre meal. I still find it kind of surprising that not every fine dining restaurant offers tables after 10pm – but some shows finish late and we prefer to dine rather after the show then before. Located in Covent Garden in the heart of London’s …

Cheese Board and Knife Set from VonShef Review and Giveaway
I *might* have mentioned, that I love dinner parties! I love hosting them too, not just attending one, in fact I probably prefer hosting. Love having friends over and chatting away whilst having a nice meal, good wine.

Homemade Pumpkin Granola Bar Mummies for Halloween
These are so much fun to make with your little people. The granola bars themselves take about 50 minutes to make and there’s no refined sugar added – I’m not saying they are super healthy but not that bad either. It’s also a good way to save the pumpkin carving remnants and turn them into something yummy. You can go …
Vegan Thai Coconut Curry with Konjac Noodles
I’m always on the look out for a bit of a different mid week meals which are easy and quick to prepare but far from being boring, like most of our midweek meals. This Thai curry soup with noodles is just perfect. It takes only 30-40 minutes to prepare and you can add more or less of the curry and …
Pumpkin Gingerbread Cookie Bats for Halloween Recipe
So the children were off sick today, but of course not THAT sick that they would just sit on the sofa watching telly or reading a book. Nooo. They were like, hooray no school, what shall we do today?? Requests ranged from play dough making to gingerbread men baking, so I decided to go with the latter. But then I …
Creamy Turnip Dauphinoise Recipe
This is my new favourite side dish! I really wanted to make something different than the good old potato dauphinoise, we all love, but frankly, it’s a bit boring. This turnip dauphinoise was prepared for a Sunday lunch – and because I normally make two main dishes anyway (a vegetarian and some meat) I try to avoid making two side …
